The Punjab and Haryana High Court has asked the Additional Chief Secretary (Home) of Haryana to file an affidavit on the policy framework to tackle organised criminal gangs and sleeper cells. Justice Sanjay Vashisth made the direction while allowing three connected bail pleas, terming the activity a 'disturbing trend' in districts like Gurugram and Faridabad. The court noted that these gangs appear to have systematic networks, requiring institutional measures beyond routine policing. The state must now detail its mechanisms for dealing with such groups.
